Frogman,
It was just a normal J Class standby ticket. If it had been FOC I would have had higher priority but been in EY anyway. I bought J because I figure it gives you two chances to get on now that you can't buy both, and also hopefully keep me out of those spine bending EY seats! But I didn't count on a little Southern European lady arbitrarily upgrading two pax at her whim whilst telling me from the very start that ...and I quote...... "definitely wouldn't be going business"!!!
